It is easy to find what we are looking for on the Internet when we have a URL to type in or we see a link we’d like to follow.
It is much more difficult to find information when we don’t have a starting point like a URL or a link.
When that happens, we have special Web Sites called Search Engines that help us to locate the Information we are looking for quickly.
Click on the arrow to find ways Search Engines work
How Do Search Engines Work?The Internet has
many Web sites that help you look for information called Search Engines. There are different types, but they work in similar ways.
Search Engines can have category or subject links that you can click on and narrow your search
Search Engines can have Search Boxes in which you type your keywords or questions.
Click on Kids Click above to see how searching by category works.
KidsClick!
Kids Click has an alphabetical index. You can click on the letter your topic begins with to find it. It also has
broad category links that you can choose to find information about that heading with more specific
subject links you can click on to narrow your searchClick on the blimp to learn more about Search Engines

Some Search Engines like KidzSearch have grade levels and specialized categories to refine your
search.

Ask allows you to type in a keyword or a natural language question to search.
Here’s Another Wave
You’ve discovered that some Search Engines can help you find information by actually typing a complete question into the Search Box.
Other Search Engines work in a different way. They only allow you to type Key Words into the Search Box. You must think about the information you want and pick out one or two words that will summarize the topic.
Click on the globe to see how Key words work.
Google is a Search Engine that uses Key Words. If you want to learn about ladybugs, you type the word “lady bug” in the Search Box above.
